Warrant out for thief

A COURT has ordered the arrest of a man who has admitted a string of shoplifting offences.

Leigh Harris, aged 35, was due to face Plymouth magistrates for sentence after earlier admitting three theft offences, two in breach of a conditional discharge. But Harris, staying at the Salvation Army Hostel in Devonport, failed to attend court for his sentence and magistrates issued a warrant for his arrest.
